  1. I've started playing Morrowind and quit midway because a family member tossed my stat lists/notes.

    (very important, as it has an odd way for leveling and distributing skills. That is, you level up whenever your main secondary skills gain a total of 10 points (a point is gained by repetition or practice of a skill), then you take a nap and when you wake up the level dawns on you and you can choose 3 out of 6 primary skills to improve by a number which is directly connected to which of ALL of your secondary skills improved (and how much) between the pre-nap level and the gained level, giving a different upgrade to each prim. skill. And a lot more)
  2. 5. They've visited a slaughter house.

    I'm pretty sure that if I'll ever visit a slaughter house, I will never be able to eat meat again (at least not whole heartedly (my firefox spellchecker doesn't recognize heartedly, how odd) and with a soothe stomach). It will be like someone saying feces in the middle of a meal to you guys (I could never understand what the fuss was about).

    The age limit is unrelated (by the bible at least, researchers might state otherwise) to the eating of meat, it was imposed before the flood due to the "sons of the God" mating with the "daughters of the Adam"
  4. 1. Unimaginative alias

    5. 1

     

    7. As in the old joke it was afraid of eight, but for some reason 7 is no longer afraid.

     

    8. Go and kill the guy who invented ketchup, and keep killing his successors to the title who invent it in jis stead

    This is not completely true, in Quest for glory your character kept the stats, spells and items you finished with in previous chapter (so if you trained a very capable fighter-mage with climbing capabilities you kept and improved it through the rest of the games).
    From what I gathered from friends, Mass effect 2 only keeps your reputation (renegade-something)and name while erasing all your stats and skills and gives a nice death and resurrection plot to explain it.

    maybe SC2 will have a similar feature
  6. I read OOTS, girl genius, 8-bit-theater (done), goblins, LFG, zap-godot(done), myth adventures(which is actually a book I already read and it peaked my interest to see the illustrated version), XKCD, PHD, AMD(a modest destiny)(now discontinued and for some reason is being converted to an IPod version by its author instead of continuing the writing, though I do recommend you check the 300 mechanics section (which is still being updated)), erfworld.

    Also don't know if it counts but I try to follow bleach and one-piece mangas through the web.

  7. I had the same problems with a PentiumII MMX, ~200Mb RAM and XP-32 OS smile

    My solution was to rely heavily on the keyboard in order to prevent bad commands (such as after first char kill bady the multiple intolerant clicking caused second char to move into where monster was).

     

    side note: one of the things it caused me to realize is that having the numpad enter disabled by the programmer is really annoying X| is this mac related?

  8. instead of going into bal-shamaroth's pit go straight ahead past the guards and you'll find the back door.

    one of the shades he sends against you can be harvested for wisdom gems until you kill him. You need to anger Gladwell, kill the shades (but not glad himself), take crystal, retreat from area, return, anger glad and he sends the shade again.
  9. I agree with the ratt, eventually, what gets me bored in a game like ff is waiting for the random encounters to end as they come so much and you have to wait through the cinematics each time (both starting, end and each blow).

    Thankfully emulators have fast-forward button which makes these a lot quicker.

    I much rather have the text description of the hit like in castle of the winds so that it doesn't take cpu time, only imagination time, so if it gets to repetitive you can ignore it.

    OK then, next subject is: Factories and Design-patterns, is programming really better with them?

  11. Man, Infi, I hate Infi, but this is what they teach there:

     

    There is a proof somewhere that there are more non-rational (fancy J if I'm getting the wording wrong) numbers than rational numbers (fancy Q) even though they are both infinite.

     

    That said,

     

    All rational numbers have a "name" (even the big ones can still be written as a very long number such as 1*10^100000000000+5*10^55+... and so can be read if given enough time :))

     

    some non-rational numbers, such as pi or the squared root of any prime number, have "names" and so any multiplication of them with a rational number has a "name" (maybe even addition can be dragged in this way).

     

    The question that now remains is which is bigger:

    all non-"named" non-rational numbers or the unity of all rational numbers with all "named" non-rational numbers.

     

    And lets leave complex numbers out of this, ok?, please?

    WoW, a bit of an overkill here, don't you think?
    I myself am agnostic and couldn't care less to either direction without any extra solid proof.

    So in order to not be perceived as a troll I will not comment further on this subject unless directly addressed.
    (should have known something like this would have happened, it is a forum community after all)

    Ah, you see, the funny thing is that in hebrew (or at the very least modern hebrew) the pronunciation of the word is exactly that, avadon. Just like in the hebrew god's name which when spelled in english is started with a J but when spelled in hebrew it starts with a Y, the V sound got switched with a B sound; so by trying not to write what christians believe to be a demon's name in english he actually nailed it in hebrew. gringrin +/'\ wink
